OPERATION
Screwdriving operation (Fig. 11)
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Then switch the tool on. When
the clutch cuts in, the motor will stop automatically. Then
release the switch trigger.
NOTE:
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the
screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
Limits of fastening capacity
Use the tool within the range of the revolution angle up to
360°. If you use the tool beyond the upper limit of this
range, the clutch does not work. And the tool cannot
deliver enough fastening torque.
NOTE:
• The revolution angle means the angle which a screw/
bolt revolves when the tool attains to 100% from 50%
of desired torque.
• Use of a low temperature conditioned battery cartridge
may sometimes give warning for battery cartridge
capacity by warning lamp and beeper which makes the
tool stop immediately. In this case, the fastening
capacity may be inferior to the specification on this
manual even if a charged battery cartridge is used.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 12)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 13)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A)
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode: drilling into metal
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
